Wildflower Hall - Special Dining Options

Picnic at The Peak

“The Peak” is a quaint colonial bungalow perched on a hilltop that commands some magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. The bungalow was built in 1863 and played host to a few Viceroys as a weekend retreat. The Peak is 8 kilometers by road from the resort and is surrounded by 10 acres of terraced apple orchards and lawns.

Wildflower Hall offers an exclusive picnic-lunch on one of the stunning lawns surrounding the house. The Peak is a twenty-minute drive from the resort.

The picnic at The Peak is ideal for a group comprising of at least 6 guests and can accommodate a maximum of 40 guests.

Timings: Between 9am to 6pm

The Sanctuary Picnic

The resplendent Shimla Water Catchment Sanctuary surrounds Wildflower Hall. The sanctuary, first established by the English, has been a preserved forest since 1879. This pristine and untouched natural paradise is famous for its abundant and well preserved Himalayan flora and fauna. Wildflower Hall has hand-picked exotic picnic locations in the sanctuary, a thirty-minute walk from the resort, where one can savour a gourmet hamper in the midst of undisturbed nature.

The picnic could be carried in back-packs by the walkers themselves, or a special set-up could be arranged in the midst of forest by our team.

The Sanctuary Picnic is ideal for a group comprising of at least 6 guests and can accommodate a maximum of 20 guests.

Timings: Between 9am to 6pm

The Railways of the Raj

One of the most unique and enthralling modes of travelling to or from Shimla has been the quaint Rail Car, that has been running on the Kalka-Shimla narrow-gauge track since 1927. A journey back in time, this individual self-powered coach runs on the century old Kalka- Shimla track.

Wildflower Hall offers exclusive charters of the Rail Car in collaboration with the Railways. To further personalize this experience, Wildflower Hall organises white-glove service by the resort’s food and beverage team onboard the Rail Car.

The exclusive charter can be organised for a group comprising of at least 6 guests and can accommodate a maximum of 12 guests.

Timings: Between 9am to 6pm
